Ahright how fast is using a delphi made dynamic linked library compare to DB?

I need to fill a 100X100 array quickly enough that it wont make scrolling jerk, DB cant do this by comparing if numbers in the array are within range.

Say like If i Made a DLL that dose this

ArrayFill(arrayname,sizewidth,sizeheight,betweena,betweenb,swapto)

for i=0 to 4
ArrayFill(MapData(),100,100,AniTile(i,0),AniTile(i,1),AniTile(i,2))
next i

would this be fast enough to snuff any and all jerking problems during another action?

Im slightly confused I came from dos assembly to begin with
and I never ever even made a DLL before.

If so though is there a place to locate FREE delphi compiler? I heard you can get the basic compiler for free.. but you get no IDE with it. Which is okay with me.

I've got an easy-to-use (written in VC6/7), that you might be interested in.

Forgot to mention that this is a linked-list routine.

Im insterested if it can compare and dosnt just fill in any and all array elements

it gotta see if the array element is between two numbers then if so it will replace it with the new number, if it dose then great!

You can compare in two ways - go through the complete list and do any compares yourself, or get it to find the data you want.

I'll update the DBPro hook for it over the weekend.
